Chapter 155: Merchants Association

At the beginning of June, the heat became heavier, and Li Bao took Hu Sanbao to the building early to avoid the scorching heat later. Liang Hongmei has already prepared the affairs of the China Merchants Association, and now she only needs Li Bao to attend the China Merchants Association.

Li Bao is very relaxed about this investment promotion, people are profit-seeking, as long as they can make money, fools will refuse. So when their master and servant arrived at the Qianjin Building, many merchants were already waiting for him.

Li Bao greeted everyone with a smile, and did not humbly take the lead to sit in the first seat in the elegant room, and after everyone saluted, he glanced at Liang Hongmei and Zhao Zhizhao.

Zhao Zhizhao stood up and said, "Good morning, everyone, I have gathered everyone here today because I have a business plan that I want to share with you. Li Bao, the head of the proprietor's association of the disdainful society, also came to the scene, and he will no longer talk about it here, and now he will ask King Ji to talk about it in detail for everyone. ”

There are almost more than 20 businessmen who came to the scene, basically some of the wealthy families in Chang'an City, not to mention Kang Bin, Wang Jiuhu and others, many merchants are willing to come here to participate in this investment promotion There are two main considerations.

First, Li Bao's prestige has been thunderous in Chang'an City, and they want to take this opportunity to seek Li Bao's protection; The second is that Li Bao is the best at business, and several stores under his name are all making money every day, so he will join Li Bao's business plan and will definitely make money in the future.

Zhao Zhizhao said so, and everyone immediately said to Li Baogong: "A certain labor King Ji is very uneasy, and he also asks King Ji to give advice. ”

Li Bao did not hesitate to stand up, took the long pole from Hu Sanbao's hand, and then motioned to Hu Sanbao to remove the red cloth from a wide low table in the center of the elegant room. When the red cloth was lifted, everyone in the elegant room exclaimed in unison, and then exclaimed.

Hu Sanbao held the red cloth and smiled silently, the miniature sand table on the low table was made by him, and of course the design drawings were all written by Li Bao. Seeing everyone's amazed looks, he felt a lot of pride.

Li Bao pointed to the sand table of this commercial center, which took nearly two months to make, and it really took a lot of effort. The layout of the entire sand table is completely based on Li Bao's intentions, and the entertainment area, the red light district and the department store are all available.

Li Bao pointed to this sand table and said: "The big guys have seen it, this is the business plan of our Shanhe Society, and this commercial center is placed in Jinchangfang." ”

As soon as Li Bao's voice fell, everyone began to discuss, this Jinchang Fang is a south square in the east of the city, close to Suzaku Street.

The closer to the north in Chang'an City is, the closer it is to the imperial city, the more prosperous and wealthy it is, and this auspicious prince intends to open a store in the south of the city, which makes everyone have objections.

Looking at everyone's discussions, Li Bao smiled slightly, he had long expected everyone's reaction, the construction of this commercial center is to develop the Chengnan market. There are many civilians in the south of the city, but the consumption potential is huge.

Li Bao's potential customers in the past were all focused on the wealthy class, and now the development of Meiya and Qianjinlou is basically in a situation of stable development. Therefore, he needs to open up new markets, and Chang'an City, a large city with a population of one million, still has a lot of potential to be tapped.

The reason why he chose Jinchangfang this time is because there is a famous spot in Chang'an City - the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This Big Wild Goose Pagoda is also often full of tourists in this time and space, and the flow of tourists is complicated, especially after each imperial examination, the Jinshi of the new department will go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to parade, and inscribe poems to commemorate it.

In fact, Li Bao wants to develop a commercial center here, and there is another important reason, the land price in the south of the city is cheaper. Li Bao plans to contract the entire Jinchangfang, and then make an overall plan and then attract investment on his own.

In addition, Chang'an City has implemented a curfew policy for hundreds of years, and in this time and space of the late Tang Dynasty, it has long existed in name only. The curfew was lifted, and the desire for the nightly pastime was intense. Li Bao also saw this, so he thought of developing Jinchangfang.

Everyone's doubts, Li Bao was in front of them, so he answered everyone first, and when he finished explaining, then everyone was happy and convinced, and praised Prince Ji for being thoughtful, and admired Li Bao's business talent even more.

Everyone had no opinion, and Li Bao continued to explain. To everyone: "The entire Jinchang Fang has been bought by me, and it will be demolished and built in the near future, and the overall planning will be carried out in accordance with this sand table, and everyone can come around to watch." ”

Everyone gathered around the sand table, holding their breath and preparing to listen to Li Bao's words, for fear of missing any important information.

Li Bao said to everyone: "Jinchangfang is three hundred and fifty-six steps wide from north to south, and four hundred and fifty steps long from east to west. We can see from this sand table that Jinchangfang will be divided into four areas according to the original Grand Cross Street in the square. ”

The northeast area near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda will be an entertainment area, which will be placed in juggling, restaurants and talking and other forms of entertainment and play areas.

The northwest area is a concentrated area for the residents of the original area, and a wall will be built to separate it from the rest of the area.

In the southeast corner, the area near Qujiang Pond will be used as a fireworks spot in Pyongkang-ri, and there will also be a boat boat for visitors.

The southwest corner will be planned as a department store area, where all kinds of items will be sold, and I will build a three-story building here as a store, and I will invite you to come and visit when the time comes.

After listening to Li Bao's explanation, they were all stunned by Li Bao's grand plan, and it was really a big deal to replan the land that had been replanned as a commercial and entertainment center. When everyone heard that Li Bao had already bought the entire land of Jinchangfang, they had to sigh at the powerful power of Li Bao, the king of Ji.

Li Bao watched everyone talk about it, and immediately spoke again: "I think everyone must have evaluated this plan in their hearts, in this plan, except for the three stores under my name, the other shops need to decide whether to enter the market or not. ”

"Of course, there are conditions for this entry operation, I don't know how you want to participate, I have two ways here, you may wish to refer to it."

Everyone was interested when they heard it, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this auspicious prince's gourd, so Liu Xuan immediately said: "The king should say it quickly, everyone is itching." ”

"There are two ways to participate, one is to build your own shops in the area I have demarcated, and the other is to provide us with the built shops for you."

Qin Shao said, "What is the difference between these two ways? ”

"Qin Caidong's question is very critical, this first type of you build your own shop, then this shop and the land of the shop belong to you, but the shop must be built according to my standards, as for the land price, just pay according to the ordinary market price.

The second option is simple, just pay the rent directly. It is only necessary for the merchants to pay a deposit to prevent the unscrupulous merchants from misperforming and harming the guests who come here.

There is also a chamber of commerce to be established after the completion of the entire Jinchang Fang, and all the merchants who settle in must join, for the daily management of the daily management of the square and the management of the industry and so on. ”

When everyone heard this, they had to admire Li Bao's delicate and thoughtful thinking, this chamber of commerce is the most important, once Jinchangfang is completed, it will become a large-scale entertainment center comparable to Pingkangli.

At this time, once the Chamber of Commerce is united, then any external forces that want to attack Jinchangfang will definitely be defeated by the combined force of everyone. In addition, with Li Bao, the king of Chang'an, as a backer, it is really foolproof.

Everyone was talking, and Li Bao saw that what he was going to say was basically finished, and he would just give the details to Liang Hongmei and his wife.

Li Bao sat on the table and took a sip of tea, then beckoned to Kang Bin. Kang Bin immediately came to Li Bao's side with a smile, and Li Bao waved him to sit down.

Li Bao put down the teacup, and then said to Kang Bin: "How did you do the matter of buying cotton cloth, cotton and cotton seeds a few months ago?"

Kang Bin immediately spoke: "The things assigned by the king, a certain person can not be satisfied, and he will send someone to buy it as soon as possible." Cotton and cotton are easy to make, but it will take some time. However, this cotton seed is not very easy to buy, after all, these things need to be obtained in the big cannibal country. Now, let's go to the Western Regions to take a trade route and get a year of going back and forth. ”

Li Bao listened, and his heart was also a little disappointed, in this time and space with backward transportation, in the face of dangerous natural conditions, it is really difficult for people to obtain materials quickly and quickly.

Since he can buy cotton seeds, as long as he promotes them well in the future, it will not be too difficult to spin cotton cloth. But he's an otaku who knows too little about this kind of thing. However, at this time, there is no need to think too much, and now it is better to do the hot air balloon matter assigned by the emperor first.

So Li Bao asked Xiang Kangbin again, "How long will it take for this cotton cloth to arrive at the earliest?" ”

Kang Bin twisted his short hair, and then said in a low voice: "It is expected to arrive next month, and a certain person has already been assigned to do it urgently." ”

Since the cotton cloth can arrive early, Li Bao is a little relieved, as long as the cotton cloth arrives, the rest is to deal with the cotton cloth, and making this cotton cloth into a sail cloth can basically ensure air tightness.

Li Bao chatted with Kang Bin about the dart bureau again, and saw that the hour was almost noon, and then said to everyone: "The matter of this investment promotion, I have already said it in general, and you can negotiate with my nurse Liang and his wife for the specific details." ”

Everyone promised yes, and Li Bao said to everyone: "Okay, we should be hungry after a busy morning, so let's eat together here." After that, Li Bao led everyone to another private room next door, where Zhao Zhizhao had already prepared a feast.

Li Bao was at the table, many businessmen always felt uncomfortable, Li Bao quickly finished eating, and then left first, and went to the quiet room prepared for him by Zhao Zhizhao to rest, the matter of the Merchants Association was over, and he had to meet an important ally in the afternoon.
